"Anonymous" inspired yesterday's post. I often get my blog ideas from your comments...I'm easily influenced. EVERYONE wants to see more Parismacarons. And more on Ladurée...Ms. Glaze did a post on cherry clafoutis and I remembered all the cherries I'd seen and painted in Paris... Someone said they'd like a look in my sketchbooks...Ed in Australia said, "I love your wine sketches. So...wine sketches went on the menu.M. in Paris asked me...Is Piu Piu still singing?

Let me know if you have a favorite topic on Paris, pastry, paints or anything at all. Someone said they'd like to see my studio...Maybe tomorrow if I can straighten things up a bit.I'm easily influenced :)

My heart beats a little faster at the photos of doorways and the architecture of doors in Paris...each has its own story...would not mind seeing a watercolor off you brush depicting beautiful entrances!!!

Such a wonderful entry - and each painting more inspirational and awesome than the next! How generous you are to respond to our requests!!! I agree with tongue in cheek - ANYTHING you paint is sheer bliss for us ...your candies tingle my teeth wishing to eat them!!! LOL Do you do landscapes?

Since I've been coming to youre blog I must of gaines some weight. :) Youre so kind to let us know about Paris living while I sit here in the stated drolling over the wonderful food and Art supplies. So every thing is fine hear for me. The paintings are wonderful Im being a self taught wc and youre work has helped so much. Studio and paints is there any way to get a wc box like youve been showing?Enough now I could ask a million questions cause Paris has been in my soul for such along time.Have a great dayLinda

We had 3 very short days in Paris in May this yr. We stayed in a suitably 'seedy' hotel and went everywhere we could on le metro and walked and walked. It felt like a 2nd home to me and the Bear. I posted a couple of pieces in my blog, but it did nothing to allay wistful feelings!

I took some pics of the typical double opening window ( covered with old lace) in our room. They did not come out too well. Do you have any sketches?

Your blog is so evocative of our time there. And everyone we met, and I mean everyone, was so helpful and patient with my appalling french!

I should read other comments before commenting myself, you don't do windows. Boo!OK, how about crusty bread and brie?Or breakfast baguette and a jug of coffee?Or creme brulee in a brown earthenware dish?

Hi I'm Carol Gillott,
My Mom taught me watercolors at 5 and I'm still at it. Now I live by the Seine on l'Ile Saint-Louis. Do consider subscribing to my Paris letters and maps on Etsy and enjoy a taste of Paris in your mailbox every month to savor with a hot chocolate and croissant. I paint Paris dreams.
